Austerity Means... Sharing Your Teleprompter

When it comes to austerity in Europe, it appears that no costs are too big or too small. That goes for sharing teleprompters as well. Compare and contrast the latest remarks by Barack O'Bama (or Obama, following the president's prompt departure out of Moneygall on seasonally unadjusted volcanic ash concens) and Enda Kenny...

Sometimes this shit just gets too weird for words. One message, multiple messengers, the sheep will never notice. Really, they won't. You folks on this site are like the 1/2 of 1% (maybe) with your eyes and ears open. The rest don't know and they don't want to know. This is the (manufactured) reality of our time.

Nothing nefarious going on here Banzai7. Just like the accident that created the Reese's peanut butter cup, they simply bumped into each other and mixed up their note cards. No problem. It will all get sorted out when the Ministry of Truth and Information does it's next information scrub.

I met a guy who's job was to write the annual shareholders letter for CEO's. I was stunned to learn that at least 33% of CEO's don't even write their letter to shareholders every year. At least that's what he said.. 33%.

I was at a company conference where the new CEO pc babe gave a speech. I was sitting next to the guy who wrote it for her, he pointed out that she was completely clueless about company business and that she would not stay for questions after her presentation. Sure enough...... The company was Lucent.

well it was said jokingly, but it does bring up the question why its fine to call him a liar and know he is driving the country over the cliff and sit back and allow him to do that, but dont dare call him a nigger , now that is just plain wrong......guess its kind of like the NBA players not being able to call anyone who verbally abuses them a faggot......douchebag and motherfucker are ok, but faggot thats a $50,000 fine

the actions should be much more concerning than the name calling, but in PC USSA , thats no longer the case

While I agree with your observations, I junked your other post because it's just asking for trouble. You should know better than to try and be logical where emotional issues are concerned. People who feel victimized by some words are not likely to get over it by your dissection of their usage.

Austerity means that the same financial institutions that were bailed-out, are allowed to keep false profits, transfer the losses to the people, and then demand that assets be sold back to them to cover the "peoples" losses.

The same institutions that recieived billions and billions of bailout bucks, and transferred the debt to the nation, now advise us that "unsustainable" debt and "out of control" government spending have made our country and currency a riskier investment.

Austerity in the 1930's is what the bank manager felt, after John Dillinger and the gang filled their sacks and raced away.
Today, it is bankers revenge.......

Ah well, money for foreign travel, money to police foreign visitors, money for guns and war planes and fuel to kill people.
For the poor, the pensioners and the rest of the slaves...
keep working harder so you can pay yet more taxes with less wages and then pay more for things you need.

The conference also featured morning breakout sessions on the BRICs, global growth, and new emerging market economies, as well as afternoon small group dialogues that explored an intellectual theme for CFR's 90th anniversary, "Renewing America," which examines how policies at home directly influence the economic and military strength of the United States and its ability to act in the world."
